Carlton Cuse has revealed that he is proud of the last episode of Lost.

The executive producer told Crave Online that despite mixed fan reaction, he stands by the finale.

"We made the finale that we wanted to make and we’re happy with it." he said. "It’s been incredibly gratifying that a lot of people do seem to like it. It was inevitable that there would be some mixed opinion about it but we feel like we made the show we wanted to make and a lot of people really embraced it."

He explained that some viewers could never be satisfied with the answers the show provided.

"[We] feel like sometimes we answered questions and people didn’t accept that those answers were the answers," he said. "Like, what was in Kate’s plane? We felt like we answered that and people were like, 'No, was there a microfilm in there? Was there more?' I think you learn a lesson if you do these kinds of shows that answers always lead to other questions."

Cuse also revealed details of the bonus scene featuring Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and Ben (Michael Emerson) that will appear on the DVD release of the programme's final season.

"There’s a 12-minute thing on the DVDs that are coming out in August that have a few answers that were not in the show," he said. "I think fans will really enjoy that as sort of a final little coda to the experience of Lost.

"The DVD content features several of the major stars from the show. That’s all I really want to say but we’re very excited. It’s a little coda. We want to manage expectations but it’s fun and enjoyable and I think people will really like a little fun. We feel like people are going to enjoy seeing the final little chapter of the series."
